Eastern Hollows – Summer’s Dead

This immediately clicked and with quoted influences like the Stone Roses and Ride Eastern Hollows could quite easily have been a band that I created in my own head. The Brooklyn 5-piece have a debut LP in the works and if ‘Summer’s Dead’ is anything to go by it will be a grand illustration that fey indie boys and their guitars still have a place in an urbanised and over produced industry. Sure they are probably never going to lose that stare into the distance detachment but it is music that we are looking to connect to and ‘Summer’s Dead’ is an open invitation to hum along in unison. Humming is great, you see, when you can’t/nor want to make out the lyrics that are being sung. KD
